Unlocked phones

I have checked on eBay for used smartphones and found interesting ones.
Many are said to be unlocked and therefore said to be compatible with
any CDMA networks in North America. But I've been told that I would have
to expect problems trying to have a Canadian service provider to
activate an unlocked phone previously activated in the US, because US
phone ESN are not in the data base of the Canadian providers.
Has anyone experienced this situation?
Thanks for helping
Harry
